THE MONEY-MARKET. , FROM THE .TIMES.) Yesterday was settling day at the Stock Exchange for the account in Consols, when that stock fell about per cent., but 'apparently from no other cause than the state of account, :it being ascertained that a majo rity of the time-bargains had been speculations in fa vour of a rise, and much stock, consequently, requiring either to be sold or carried over on continuation till the opening of :the books on the 18th July, which is the next .settling day. The price of Consols for that day ; was 78i ; but, as the July dividend is included in it, the real value of the stock is 77. The Foreign Market was quite inactive yesterday ; and now that the settle ment has taken place in the Consol Market, an almost total cessation of business in the Fnnds during the pe riod of EpsOni races is looked for. The general scarcity of money seems to have check ed that demand which has been observed for a few days back in the Colonial Market'; but the holders of good's, under the encouragement which it has given them, remain. firm in the expectation of better prices. maintenance, however, even of those at present quoted, must depend on the arrivals ; and the change lof wind, it is to be feared, will bring 'in many addi tional cargoes.. In , fact, the intelligent merchants make 'no scruple of admitting that a .cessation of importation for six months in Many articles—such is the excess of supply 'Over. 'the demand—would scarcely restore the markets to a healthy state. - . _ We .

GEORGES. Mr. HART stated that he had a petition for his. Lordship's consideration, in this old cause, and which required his consideration alone, which was extremely pressing, and to which he would therefore crave the Court's immediate attention. In this case, the. Court, from the best of motives, 'had endeavoured to break down any thing like a spirit of 'time litigation, by making interlocutory orders from time to time. Mr. Georges, the heir-at-law of the testatrix, and who was entitled' to 'considerable property under the will, upon his marriage, a good • many years ago, made a settlement' of his rights and interests, such as they were, in the West India estate in question, upon his wife and the issue of that marriage. There were now ten children, issue of that marriage, and during the whole.period Of references to the matter going on, and interlocutoryorders being made by the Court, no person obtaining those orders, and cooducting the references,had the slightest knowledge of the settlement having been made ; the discovery had just been made, and Nva3 found that all such interlocutory orders had been ren dered perfectly nugatory by the execution of such set tlement. Messrs. Denmston and Co. of .Glasgow, who presented the present petition, have long been., mortgagees and consignees of the estate ; they have been reported by the master to be creditors to amount of 2G,5401. and a fraction ; the estate formerly yielded 20,0001. annually of profit ; it was now so deterior ated in'value, as not only to support itself, but there was a considerable debt contracting yearly to support the slaves, &c. upon it ; Mr. Georges had taken the benefit of :ths insolvent act ; he ha r d executed a great many ineumbrimces upon the estate before insolvency; and therefore parties interested, felt the abso lute necessity of taking some de c i s ive an d final step. Under all these circumstances, the petitioners prayed ' that they might be. discharged, and relieved from all these interlocutoiy orders, and their effect, in the making of which they etitioners had acquiesced ; and that they might be left at liberty to make the best use of their mortgage deeds in their power. All the adults who were interested, .had instructed counsel to c'unsent to their application, though the counsel did not Appear - at the. bar. His LORDSHIP did 'not see how he could hold the • mortgagees, to the effect.of orders made upon a mis take of what the actual rights of the parties were. The Court therefore made the order, upon the consent of all parties being produced. Nt - ELLtsu TL MELLISH'. His" LoRDSIIIS' felt it difficult to alloW Mr. Mel lish to take the whole of the money in Court, to the credit of this cause, out of Court, merely. upon his ~undertaking to bring it back, if at the hearing of the ,cause he . should be ordered to do so ; but Mr, Mel , dish might either 'take. the half of the sum out of Court 4onAns . undertaking, or the whole, upon giving Se curity.

This was an action for slanderous words spoken d she Plaintiff, Mr. PLATT'opt_ined the pleadings. - Mr. Sergeant VA Yo u A N anted the case. The Plaintiff' and Defendant were bared -owners, residing at Sheerniss. The former traded in stone, Which was used in making barker's cement. About Christmas' last, the Plaintiff was advised to take a change of air; on account of his health, and accordingly he went to, Cheltenham and Bath, where he remained for a few months ;- on which occasion the Defendant circulated unfounded and - Malignant reports respecting him, saying that he had been broken, and had fled to evade s hia creditors. Joseph Goran deposed that he was a grocer at 'Sheerness ; on the 10th of February last the defen dant came into his shop and said, a prettyjob this is about Jeremiah Brown ; he is strimpt (by that word witness understood that he had been broken to pieces); witness said he did not believe it.; defendant replied that Saxby told him that all his vessels and tackle were in the harbour for sale; and that he knew Brown a long time' before lie came to Sheerness,, that he 61 been broken once or twice • defendant w a s. v e ry wealthy. Thomas Clayton--Met the ueienuarit on 9th o f Febrtiary last, 'who as k e d if he had heard the report 'that Brown was broken • witness said that his barges Fe were going on as usual defendant replied, they arc n o more Brown's' than they are Mine or yours. Lewis Shrubsole is a cheesemouger at Sliecinies; defendant called into his shop inbruarylast, tuld 13rown is off, and there will not be a Fertmyfor a ny man ;" the barges; which he had been USlng were not his own ; he never had any thing of his own in his life, and that he could prove. • • Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the Jury for the defendant. He said that however imprudent his client had acted, there was no reason to impute to him sordid motives ; though both parties kept barges, yet they were not engaged in the same trade, so that the defendant could not expect to gain any thing by cir culating an injurious report of Browne ; the fact was, he had leant too ready an ear to what he had heard from others, and was too fond of gossiping. He hoped the Jury would not, in such a ease, give such damages as if he had been influenced by malignant motives. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that as the jury were tradesmen they were best - judges what compensation ought to be made for words calculated to rum a man in business, particularly at the calamitous time in which they were spoken,—he hoped they would give such damages as would mark their disapprobation of such improper conduct. The Jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff— Damages 1001. • LIABILITY OF INDIVIDUAL VESTRYMEN ,TO 'PAY DEBTS INCURRED BY THE - ACT OF THE VESTRY. A case involving a question on this point, obviously of the greatest interest to all those who are members of Select Vestries, has of Lite excited much notice iu a part of the country from whence we have been favoured with a communication on ,the subject, inclosing the report of the legal proceedings, with the opinions of the Judges. We conceive, by giving this report at length, we, shall be conveying information in which a Very large proportion of our Readers must feel Coocerned. • ' WESTMINSTER ELECTION, the annual farce which has'been played so often by the "Ope ratives" of Westminster, was got up, and damned last night, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The chief actors were Sir Francis Burdett, who, having a bad leg, made a lame business of his part. John Cam Hobhouse, who recommended 'Mr.• Can- Meg to liberate the Greeks ; Mr. Coke, the farmer; . a Mr. Sturch, of whom we know little or nothing; Lord Nugent, the late partner of Mr. Cooke, in the Gwenappe Mining humbug ; 'Mr. Harmer, the Old Bailey Solicitor ; Mr. Waithman, the liuen-draper; and, as we are told by . the " Chronicle," Mr.-Alder man Thompson. The old worn-out speeches had received very little varnishing:. The only great novelty was a• touch upon the evils of the Chancery Court, by Sir Francis Burdett, and the whole thing had been merely revived, without either new scenery, dresses, or decorations. The company was not, near so nume rous as we have known it to be On former occasions. The an nual insult to royalty--the toast of the "People," being a llowed precedence of the king, was of course given. So soon tol . the, scramble for the ducks and geese was over, and the cloth cleared, the . gentleman bawled it out, and not having got his lesson per fectly, called, it "The People, the only source of tegiotioate power," which alteratioo excited a general burst of laughter; for since the Operatives have attended lectures, they have tegen un-Jerstand the difference " between -great A-and a s bull's foot ;" and the toot-master's murder of . the king's English was generally de tected. Mr. Sturch spoke a great many good things about Sir . Francis Burdett. Sir Fraiii:is Burdett praised the Westminster electors, and propOsed the health of Mr. Peel, Mr, Coif , como plimented Mr. flobhunse; Hohhouse Mr: Whitbread, the Mid - dieser orator, and so the old thing went round• like the songs at a " free ,and easy," It is to be regretted, however, that whin Sir Francis Bortlett spoke, sOnte'iliattppointincnt, at not being' al lowed " half and half," was manifested bytteveral of the , company, and, at an advanced stage of the 'evening, the refusal to allow pipes• had nearly QCCII4IOIIed a turn-outs Upon the.whole, the thing was a failuri,' Notwithstanding the liberal ?speeches there were made, " 1 sin," says one, 4 ‘ an independent num ; I nri.er voted for the 11144 fitter, and Inert? trill."

The two Members will, in all preibibility, be returned by the unanimous voice of the., people of Westminster, but • the, change has been brought about by the good sense of Sir Francis.

SIR G. HILL ANDMIt., TI ERNEY. It was rumoured yesterday,' that a rerione alterretion had taken place between a distinguished Member of Opp°Ohm' and a person' high in Mice in the Cotnmittee on the Small Note Bill. The individual in Offlee elluded to is Sir George. Hll, who his ebtne situation in the Irish Treasury, and Mr. Tierney is the 'guiebed Member of Opposition to wham the rumour refers. The subject of the slight (for it wits not- serious) altercation is this . Mr. Tte ItNItY complained of want .of fairness on the part of Ministers, in the appointment of the Ctnrimittee. Ile had become 'a member of it, under an implied pledge that the metuture relative to the limited period allowed for the circulation of small cuter in Eng lund, would be extended to Scotland and Irelad, except satisfactory evidence should be produced to the Cuitunittee,that there were cit.' cumstances in the state of these countries which rendered the principle inepplieable to them, while no such evidence had yet been adduced ; and the Honourable Gentleman threw out an intimation, that the ComMittee was so constituted as t* in clude members, who (like himself) were responsible for the acts of the Committee;yet who entirely dissented from the Ministerial majority of which it was composed. It.was uncentlid and unfair, that be, or others, should be made answerable for an act 'of which he did not approve. Sir G. HILL wise surprised to hear language so unconstitutional and unparliamentary from so old a < Member of Parliament, and from one who ought to be so well acquainted with its usages, as well us, on this particular . occasion, with the declared intention of 'Ministers. The object of the Committee was inquiry into the propriety of the extension of a measure to likotland, and the mem bers of the Committee should enter into that inquiry like persons 'entering into - a Jury-box, divested of prejudice and partiality of tiny kind: Mr. Timm - retorted, that the Right Honourable Baronet was at least se old a Member of Parliament as he was, and that he was 'much better acquainted with Ministerial praMees than during 'his life he had had an opportunity of being. He complained, diet' it Was understood the measure entitled -io would be extended to Scot land, except a case were made ' out, justifying the . placing that country on a different footing front that of England, and he thought be was entitled to complain of Minister; in abandoning what he and others understood to be their declared intention, without evi dence. Sir O. HILL briefly replied; and after a sharp rejoinder from M..

For some years past Cambridge has present. ed a orange contest between the analytical and geometrical methods of mathematical investigation, and there has resulted, in the -University system, ail ill digested tni*turc of the two.' Under certain limi tations, the student is albwed to use . geometry or analysis, according as either method-may, in any parti, cular case, bestsuit his convenience. Ceteris paribus, however, th e asp ir ants to Univer sity fame and' emolument rare understood to march with the greater chance of success , under the banners of geometry. The; geometrical system ranks (with few exceptions> ALL the age .and experience of the University among its supporteri, 'and from time to time recruits its ranks with such 'students as may ba content to sacrifice at every turn that which appears the better to that which is the more expedient—the method which presents itself as the more, simple ,and elegant, to that which is the more concise and convenient,, There is one department, however,.. of his, reading, in which • the 'course to be adopted_ by the.student ceases to be optional t ..He is required to give the demonstrations of Newton, according to the very letter of the Principia: - This we consider to be great and most pernicious error. .We yield to none, in admiration .of the stupendous. atehieve ments of that ,- great man iw physical science. Through the haze of preposterous , theory, he be.. held it a confusion of phenomena, irreconcileable and detached, or holding among themselves relations still more perplexing than - their disagreement—facts that, in the very pride of disorder, laughed all hw:-. mony . to scorn, and seemed to mock at the trammels of a system.—At Newton's fiat there was light. He threw into this chaos the active principle of an, universal gravitation,, and diffusing over it the splen dour of a sublime geometry ; the' universe shone forth a perfect system of order, harmony, and beauty. It is now a century and a half since ha thus sent forth that system which has prevailed in philosophy, and gave laws to the intellectual world, and from that period a decline in mathe matical learning has been 'apparent amongst us— a decline, we conceive, mainly. attributable to the causes we have stated at the .beginning of this article. Whilst our mathematicians have been gazing on the apotheosis of Newton, their more active continental rivals have caught up his .mantle. Mathematical - learning flourishes exclusively in . France. At an expenditure less than the single. mathematical patronage. of our University of Cain, bridge, France h as called 'forth a. host of talent whose labOiirs• have reared that intellectual edifice, which in the progress of science will probably alone..remain, un rivalled and tinsinpessed.....a conspicuous anommicnt to the transcendent mathematical genius of our times. • . It is under these circumstances, with groat pleasure,. that we observe, just now a strung re-action at Cam bridge, in favour of analytical methods.. Within the last two or three years several valuable works on analysis : have issued from the University press, and others are, we believe, on :the, eve of pub. lication. Mr. - Airy, of Trinity:. College, lies lately produced, an elementary work on Physical Astronomy,,. in which he 'has, treated the subject with .greet. power .end originality: . • . .. , , - . This gentleman has very early acquired, a. consider- able fame as a mathemetietan, but he owes 'to himself and to the public a full vindication of this fame. Other than elementary works are expected of him. We look beck with considerable interest on the time we devoted to mathematical speculation at Cambridge; and,',con sidering, as we do, a great public interest, involyed in' the system of instruction pursued in that.

Minister of the Tron Church, Glasgow, and late Professor of Moral Phi. losophy at Aberdeen. 2 vols. bro..' Duncan, Itnti. A systematic treatise on Moral Philosophy must, from 'its nature, evidently be a sort . of book of which little, satisfactory can be said in the .limits of a news- , paper paragraph. It would be impossible to do jus tice to the development of the scheme of the argu" . .ment, .and equally so to fix upon any particular pas. sages- which could, in a detached form, present any :thuig of 'general interest ; we .must therefore content. ourselves with generally. recommending to such of our readers as may be engaged in the .study. of. ethics, what (as far as we have looked into it). appears to be a sound, perspicuous, and not inelegant treatise on the subject. .For our own part,' we must say, that the masterly work of Paley appears It, sufficient for the wants of a student ;. and, although in •-sotuc few points it-hat been censured, we are not sure that the present work will be considered less open to such cm suie. . _ _ Dr. Dewar builds his system of morals upon the belief in the existence and perfections of the Deity, and recognizes throughout the sanctions of Chris,- tianity ;, and Paley has done the same in a less degree. To us, we confess, it appears; that, if morals are to be investigated as a science, they should be considered apart from religion ; if treated in connection with re- Jigion, they' cannot want the deductions of science, being then grounded upon an entirely different sort of evidence.
